L.A. Theatre Works To Air Part One of ARCADIA by Tom Stoppard
This weekend, beginning Saturday, January 9, L.A. Theatre Works will air Part One of Arcadia by Tom Stoppard (Part Two will air next Saturday, January 16.) The broadcast can be heard locally in Southern California on Saturday from 10 pm to midnight on KPCC 89.3 FM, and can also be streamed on demand at http://www.latw.org/.
Arcadia merges science with human concerns and ideals, examining the universe's influence in our everyday lives and ultimate fates through the relationship between past and present, order and disorder, and the certainty of knowledge. Set in an English country house in the years 1809-1812 and 1989, the play contrasts the lives of two modern scholars and the house's current residents with the lives of those who lived there 180 years earlier. Kate Burton, Mark Capri, Jennifer Dundas, Gregory Itzin, David Manis, Christopher Neame, Peter Paige, Darren Richardson, Kate Steele, Serena Scott Thomas, and Douglas Weston are in the cast. The broadcast features an interview with Ira Nadel, Professor of English at the University of British Columbia, and the author of "Double Act: A Life of Tom Stoppard.
